Hello S- This list was established for all SDB researchers, whether your ancestors belonged to the original church at Newport or joined later on. I wanted us to have a place to share information specific to the church (like all those great books & web sites that are out there) & migration patterns, which doesn't really belong on other lists. There are many lists that you may want to join.....surname lists are always a good bet, as are locality lists for the area you need to research. To find those, check www.rootsweb.com and click on Mail Lists. We've been up & running for just a few days so if it doesn't seem useful yet I hope you'll wait a bit & see if things get a little more interesting. Let us know the names you are researching (be sure to include given names & dates.....surnames tend to repeat in this group!)....it's possible we're all related!
